Size Wise

Slide a bead to show a size, then avoid the extremes.

An estimation party game played with beads on strings, where you show how long something is and score not by being right, but by landing close to what everyone else thinks.

Bead on a string answersLongest and shortest lose tokensMatch the group, not reality

Who it's for

Bigger, mixed groups who like arguing about answers with no right answer.

Not for you if…

You want scoring you can verify or a game with real decisions to weigh.

Vibe's take

Loud and slightly absurd – holding six strings against each other produces instant verdicts, and the losing pair is always sure they were the reasonable ones.
